     Three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material
3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes.

    Photonics Career Videos Project
We asked our video subjects who they worked for, what they do, how they became interested in photonics and who helped or encouraged them. We asked our subjects to discuss their educational preparation for their career and why those chose their specific educational and career pathways. We also encouraged our subjects to discuss what they found interesting about their jobs and to provide advice to students who might be interested in pursuing careers in lasers, optics or photonics.
